7 cameroonian athletes disappear from Olympic village

The Cameroon Ministry of Sports and Physical Education has announced the
disappearance of seven athletes while in Britain for the London 2012
Olympics.

This is what is called 'sharp sharp' move.....Africans and the hunger for obodo oyibo....LOL!

The seven – five boxers, a swimmer and a soccer player – are suspected of having left to avoid going back to Cameroon and in search of 'greener pastures'.

According to Reuters, “What began as rumour
has finally turned out to be true. Seven Cameroonian athletes who
participated at the 2012 London Olympic Games have disappeared from the
Olympic Village,” David Ojong, the mission head said in a message sent
to the ministry.

Ojong
said a reserve goalkeeper for the women’s soccer team, Drusille Ngako,
was the first to disappear. She was not one of the 18 finally retained
after pre-Olympic training in Scotland. While her team-mates left for
Coventry for their last preparatory encounter against New Zealand, she
vanished. A few days later, swimmer Paul Ekane Edingue and his personal
belongings were also not found in his room.

It is not the first time Cameroonian
athletes have disappeared during international sports competitions. Last
year, 15 Ethiopian athletes disappeared after competing in the All
Africa Games in Mozambique. Mozambique is a popular transit route for
illegal immigrants from Ethiopia, Somalia and central Africa. It was
reported that they went to South Africa, in the hope of finding better
opportunities.
